Zusammenfassung:Method and means for suppressing discoloration during thermal treatment of a product of a magnesium containing aluminium alloy, the alloy contains in wt.% Mg: 0,45 ¨ 12,0, with a preferred range of 0,45-6,0 wt%. The product, being either an extrusion billet, a sheet ingot, a cast product, or a forged product is heated to a temperature T where it is prone to surface discoloration and oxidation, wherein during the thermal treatment it is exposed to a suppressing atmosphere comprising 0,5-5,0% CO2 gas with a preference for 0,5 - 1,5 % CO2 gas.
